OpenAI has removed a feature that made shared ChatGPT conversations appear in search results. The "short-lived experiment" was based on the chatbot's link creation option. After complaints, OpenAI's chief information security officer, Dane Stuckey ,said it found thousands of ChatGPT conversations in Google search results. The indexed chats didn't explicitly include identifying information.

To be clear, this wasn't a hack or leak. It was tied to a box users could tick when creating a shareable URL directing to a chat. In the pop-up for creating a public link, the option to "Make this chat discoverable" appeared. The more direct explanation appeared in a smaller, grayer font below. Users had to tick that box to make the chat indexed.You may wonder why people creating a public link to a chat would have a problem with its contents being public.
